It recommends that every garment manufactured in a tenement or dwelling-house should bear a tag stating the same: that when a garment comes on the market the innocent purchaser, who. by the way, pays a high price for this garment, thinking it was made by ihe best of workmanship and underclean and healthful conditions, may know tho dangers and risks of wearing clothing mads where vermin, diphtheria, smallpox, and other contagious diseases exist. The occupation of dwelling houses by miscellaneous parties for workshops," continues the report, "can be done away with at a reasonable exnenpe by amending section 1 of article 1 of the swfotshop law, by giving the inspector of factories and workshops the power of issuing or refusing a permit or license to employ any person not a member of his or her family, where the shop or rooms are not in a clean and healthy condition, or the space for people employed therein is not sufficient. While it may rot do away with all the Fhqps in tenement houses, it would bring about a condition of affairs whereby the inspector could exercise kis judgment as the circumstances allowed." GENERAL NEWS OF RAILWAYS.

Plan Suggested to Make New York Immigrant Bureau Independent of Passenger' Association. It was proposed at yesterday's meeting of Western Passenger Agents to make the' Immigrant clarlng-house- in New York an independent organization. At present it is an auxiliary bureau of the Western Passenger association. Its work is so important the association would suffer severely were they separated. The argument in favor of the proposition Is there are roads members of the immigrant clearing-house, but not of the association, which causes much to be held here on June 2tf to 29 to discuss combinations and trusts.

Governor McLaurin, of Mississippi heartily indorses the confer may have the rival which the recently gi anted Illinois Telephone and Telegraph ordinance presupposes. Yesterday it was reported In financial circles on apparently good authority that a new and powerful syndicate, made up largely of local men, had acquired the ordinance and pledged to build a system under it which should include at least 10,000 connections before business was begun. A. G. Wheeler, formerly of Chicago and now a resident of New York, Vice Pi evident of the Love Traction company, and one of ihe chief promoters of the General Electric railway ordinance, was said to be the chief promoter of the present undertaking.

In a brief interview Mr. Wheeler admitted the reports -Ncre substantially correct. The Illinois Telephone ordinance went through the Council late last winter with a rush, but was modified in accordance with the Mayor's suggestion before it received his signature. Attorney Charles II. Aldrich appeared before the Council committee and in the negotiations with the city as the only representativo of the people behind the franchise, but it was speedily developed that II.

J. Ifanford and Milo G. Kellogg, representing a crowd of wealthy St. Louisans, headed byAdolphus Busch, the brewer, were the men, interested. The St.

Louis people who, with Mr. Han-ford as the guide, have built a telephone exchange in that city competing with tha Bell company, and exchanges in other cities, united in a telegram to the city authorities relating their intentions to build immediately. Kut operations didn't begin. During the recent Mayoralty campaign ex-Governor Altgeld said on the stump the ordinance had been sold and intimated the ence and has named J. W.

Cutter of Clarks-dalc, John Sharp Williams of Yazoo City, and Frank Burkltt of Okolona, as delegates. Governors Roosevelt of New York, Wolcott of Massachusetts, and Pinsrree of Michigan will each appoint delegations and attend personally if their official duties do not interfere. The President of the Chamber of Commerce at St. Paul was authorized by that body to appoint three delegates. The President of the Chamber of Commerce at Balti What Miss Lucy A.

Hciser, a tra'ned nurse of eight years' experience and a Rraduate of the Homeopathic Hospital of Minneapolis, here says 0f Taine's celery compound vitally con- cerns every sufTerinp woman; I am glad to testify to the merits of Paine's celery compound especially as a tonic in cases of convalescence. I have noticed very satisfactory results with patients under my care when Paine's celery compound was prescribed." The above endorsement is corroborated by the experience of Mrs. Hasel-ton. We have been using: your Paine's celery compound in the Nazarene Home for some months, and it is with great pleasure that I can say that our aged Rumors of a special session of the legislature were again current yesterday, the main reason assigned being the necessity of amending the new revenue law. It is said by many, however, that there is no pronounced demand for such an amendment.

Another reason advanced by people who are watching the work of the Baxter Investigating committee is that a special session should give this body a chance to make an early report and to the same Senate that appointed it, thus nullifying the allegation that its sessions are illegal. Assessor James J. Gray, speaking of the matter, said: The only feature of the new revenue law to which I have heard any decided objection is the one requiring the publication of each person's real estate and personal assessment. That provision, however, is regarded by others as the most valuable feature in the law. These say tho fact that one man knows the figure at which his neighbor is assessed will make everybody help in securing an equitable assessment.

It is strongly, objected to, however, by many people, on the ground that their private affairs are sacred and must not be published. "Will Publish Only Totals. more writes that he expects that organization. to name delegates today. The Commercial Iff purpose of the promotors in getting It was simply to find a buyer.

It is said in financial circles the ex-Governor's assertion was partly correct. In that while the ordinance hadn't been sold it was in the market. The explanation of this is stated to be that Mr. Busch and his friends found a different state of affairs here from what was expected. The stockholders of the Chicago Telephone company include many of the large capitalists, bankers, and brokers.

Many of them did not desire to take part in any enterprise which tended to depreciate the market value of Chicago Telephone stock and they declined to become stockholders in the rival company. Other difficulties chilled the ardor of the St. Louisans, so it is said. At any rate, there seems little doubt now that the ordinance has been for sale almost from the time of its passage, and yesterday the rumors culminated around the name of A. G.

Wheeler. I don't hesitate to say I have got the ordinance," said Mr. Wheeler. Moreover, I have got the money raised to install a system. The people Interested are mostly Chicagoans and they will invest over $4 We shall not begin business until at least 10,000 subscribers have been secured, and there will be no difficulty about that.

The men interested originally will not be connected with the company, which will begin building operations soon. No trouble On one point there is a popular misunderstanding. Some people think we are going to publish the individual schedules, showing the debits and credits of each taxpayer. This would give information to the world of the exact state of every man's business, how much he owes, and how much Is owing him. This schedule we have no intention of publishing, nor in fact any items connected with any one's assessment.

The publication will simply be the total eutn at which each person is assessed, or rather the one-fifth of it, on which he will be taxed. Objection has been made by many, however, to having the schedules showing the debits and credits kept on file in this office, even if they are not published. The objectors claim that any one seeking information as to the financial standing of any particular taxpayer could get it by overhauling these schedules." Many Fail to File Schedules. The fact that many of the persons and corporations supposed to own the greater portion of the personal property in Cook County have not yet filed schedules and show no intention of doing so, preferring to take the ir chances with the Assessors discovering their aasets, led Assessor Randall to take the position that perhaps it would be inadvisable to make any publication of the assessments thi3 year, on the ground that such a publication would be so Incomplete as to be valueless. The other Assessors are.

however, of a different opinion. They say the publication of the individual assessments undoubtedly would be delayed by this refusal. to schedule, but that it can be done without trouble if the board wishes it. Grain Stored in Vessels Taxable. Attoraey Rlchberg for the Board of As people have invariably been benefited by its use.

I have been using it my-self, as has also my niece, and there has been a marked improvement in our health. I was very much run-down after the winter's hard work, but am feeling very much better. I have recommended it to a number of friends outside of the Home, and they, too, have been greatly pleased with re-suits. We shall never be without it in the Home." Mrs. M.

A. Haselton, Manager Nazarene Home, 2032-2034 Columbia Philadelphia, Ta. Mrs. Chandler, President of the So- i ciety for the Promotion of Health, i Chicago, 111., says: Too constant application to Jwork has at times caused sick and nejrvous headaches, very persistent and pjinful. friction.

A majority qf tho roads are not in favor of such action. They believe it an attempt to prevent the reorganization on the plan proposed and to secure two associations, one east and one west of the Missouri. It was argued that if this bureau was made independent it soon would become necessary to take the same action as regards the mileage ticket and the clergymen's haif-fare permit bureaus. Without these the usefulness of the association, would be destroyed. There is little prospect of the proposition going through.

Hopes are entertained, however, that some sort of an agreement wlil be effected. Fight for Lackawanna Sleepers. On May 1 the Pullman contract with the Lackawanna expired and has not been renewed. The road opened its sleeping car concession to bids, and for two weeks the Pullman and Wagner corporations have been figuring to capture the prize. Th Lackawanna and Nickel Plate have been working together, although handicapped by the fact Wagner cars are run over the Nickel Plate to Luffalo and Pullmans over the Lackawanna in the East.

A few cars of each company are run through in both directions; by transfer checks that are said to be unpopular. The W'agner and Nickel Plate are owned by the Vanderbilts, who are also interested in the Lackawanna. The laiter is said to be negotiating to secure the right of way over the Nickel Plate to Chicago. If this is done It would become necessary for the Lackawanna to use Wagner sleepers. Train Dispatching by Telephone.

Operating trains by telephone instead of telegraph is an innovation made by the Illinois Central. It is one of the first attempts ever made to direct trains by anything but written telegraphic orders. Officers of the road pronounce the new system a. success and Intend to try it for longer distances. It has been tried on the St.

Charles Line from the Illinois Central tracks near Fout teenth street to the river. It is claimed distance has nothing to do with the work. Agree as to Egg Shipments. Railroads in the Trunk Line association have reached an understanding with shippers regarding the weight of eggs when the actual weight can be obtained for shipping. It has been the custom for the railroads to charge at a rate of fifty-five pounds for a crate of thirty dozen.

In many instances the shippers have beaten the roads by packing forty dozen in a crate. Hereafter crates of thirty dozen will be charged at fifty-five pounds, thirty-six dozen at sixty-five pounds, and any excess an additional two pounds a dozen. New Line in Minnesota. W. D.

Washburn of Minneapolis and other whatever has been experienced in securing the interest desired in the undertaking which will givo the people of Chicago good service." Charles H. Aldrich, who represented the original promoters of the ordinance, de clined to be interviewed when asked if the ordinance had been sold. Are Hanford, Kellogg, and the St. Louis people out?" he was asked. I don't know that they are, and must be excused from saying anything about the matter at present." In continuation of the examination into the cor.

anions surroamlinff the manufacture of wearing: upparel In the sweatshops of Chicago a special inspection was Riven to a hso of the sweat ins industry which tsout-s-ide of the pole of the law, as interpreted by the State Factory Inspector's department. Over the shops in which caps, suspenders, nd r.eckwear are made the inspectors exer- cise no control except in regard to the regu- lation of child labor. By an evident omission in the law regulating the manufacturing of wearing apparel tha acc does not apply to shops in which caps are made. Tho law specifies coats, vests, trousers, knee par.ts, overalls, cloaks, phirts. ladies" waists, purses, feathers, artificial flowers, or cigars in its prohibition of the use of the living rooms of a house for manufacture of wearing apparel, except by the Immediate members of the family.

Caps are not specified, and the inspectors hold that' they have no authority in the matter. The majority of the sweaters engaged In the manufacture of caps and hats are Russian Jws. Their shops are directly connected with their living rooms, are limited In space, and sajiltary conditions are bad. By reason of these conditions there is probability of contagious disease being generated and communicated in. the caps and hats that are made and disposed of to jbb- bers and other trade.

From information gathered at the State Factory Inspector's department, there are about twenty of these shops that should be regulated and kept in proper condition. In order to do this, however, an enactment placing them under the supervision of the State Factory Inspector's department is necessary. The only phase of the system under this department is that of child labor. In Gindling's Cap Shop. Factory Inspector A.

J. Harris arxi a reporter for The Tkibcxe climbed the 1 stairs to one of these cap factories, that of L. Gindling, 506 South Jeffer-s Fori street, where six people were making plush and cloth caps. The shop wr.s similar to the sweatshops of the same locality, jtxeept that it presented much worse conditions in regard to light and limited quarters. jOne boy under 16 years of age was found lind sent home for his affidavit.

He was 'followed and his mother was1 asked what he received for his wcrk and how long he -worked. After a moment's hesitation she he received a week and worked I den hours a day. The Invariable reply of the children under IS found at work In a sweatshop, given readily as to indicate a general tutoring And general understanding, is: Fifteen years old. Work ten hours a (lay, from 7 until 6 o'clock, with an hour at pioon. Get $2 a week." The sweatshop law does not go far nough," said Inspector Harris.

It should pe extended so as to cover the manufacture pf caps In sweatshops. If it could be reached the evil eoukl be remedied quickly. the law should be amended so as to jgive our department power to issue certifl- to tailors and workmen and women fter we find their places of work are clean pnd well ventilated. These certificates would fe tantamount to a recommendation for holding them. And in case of violation fa cleanliness the goods and garments found Sn the violator's place should be tagged and should retain the said tag In the store or shop hat srent them out, showing where and under iwhat conditions they were made.

In this "way the evil could be regulated." Other Cap Factories Inspected. Other cap factories inspected were: M.

According to the forthcoming report of the State Factory Inspector's department 5 the number of children under 18 years of employed In industries within Cook County Is 9,205, out of a total employed In the State of 11.S45. Of this number 1.624 tire listed under garment-makers. In de-I fault of definite figures, the majority may i be estimated safely to be employed in the 'Bweat-shops of Chicago, the number of gar-jment-makers employed In sweat-shops be-ilng 17,000 out of 23.711. For these children 1 the State law requires a certificate, signed by the parents and sworn to before a notary, that the child is over 14 years lef age. The report of the Factory Inspector's department shows that the number fof convictions obtained for the employment children under 14 during the last year was eighteen, and the number of convic-ftlons for the employment of children between 18 and 14 without affidavit as re-j quired by law was 132.

The Tribute's Investigation of the sweat-i Shops confirmed the fact that the spirit of the child labor law is subject to continuous 'Infraction through the easy consciences of parents, who need the small amounts ihlch the labor of their children is able to fndd to the family Income. The general feel-ilng among the foreign sweaters is that any 'action to enforce legislation regulating the of children, as to the conditions 'tnder which they work or the number of fliours a day that they labor, is simply per-1 Beution.

I am not sure that my official duties will permit my absence to participate In your conference, but it would afford me pleasure and, I am sure, Profit, to be with you. S. A. ROBINSON, Chairman Committee on Finance. New York Board of Trade and Transportation I have been urging the Importance of the conference to consider trusts, and Insisting that more valuable inforrmatlon regarding them could be quickly obtained and disseminated by that mans than by anv other available method.

There, is a great interest in the subject from all standpoints, and I think there will be no difficulty in a large number of representative men for the conference. If a convention as satisfactory and effective as the one the Civic federation arranged at Saratoga can be secured. It will do a vast amount of good. JEFF" DAVIS, Attorney General, Arkansas If my official duties will permit, I shall attend with pleasure, as I am thoroughly of the opinion that unless State legislation throttles and stamps out thes monstrous evils, the basic principles upon which our government la founds will be shaken ani destroyed. HENRY WHITE, General Secretary.

XTnited Garment Workers of America-I cannot Kay whether I will be In a position to attend. Tf not, I will appoint a representative, I sympathize so strongly with the object of your conference, and I trust that It will lead to practical results. JAMES A. MOUNT, Governor of Indiana I think it wise for the public to take a lively interest in all economic Issues in their various to production, transportation, consumption, supply, and demand. The rapid consolidation into trusts of many of the Industries of the country 1 just cause for serious apprehension.

Many of these combinations are speculative, overcapitalized, representing watered stock, and will speedily collapse. leaving many investors wiser but ioorer. Some of these aggregations of capital may be organized upon correct business principles, with a view of reducing the cost of production and distribution, but I take it that the ral purpose of this centralization of capital is to secure better profits to the concerns thus ortraniized. Such coalitions are not formed for public weal, but rather for the benefit of corporate greed. I have always advocated and believed In the protection and encouragement of American industries, believing-(and history has justified such belief) that home competition would regulate prices; but if home industries are to unite in gigantlo trusts, thus destroying competition and -controlling prices, then I am for removing protection from ail articles manufactured by Buch trusts, to the end that, if competition cannot be maintained at home, we can ha-e competition from abroad.

W. A. POTNTER. Governor of Xebraska If circumstances permit. I would be much pleaded to be present.

I aim much Interested In the subjects which will be Under discussion at that meeting, and shall name three prominent citizens of our P'ate to represent Nebraska in the conference. P. RUCKER. Attorney General. West Virginia I am much in sympathy with the move, and think the subjHt is one which shotdd be care-fullv considered and thoroughly discussed by our people generally, and that no radical view should adopted by our people until the matter Is thoroughly understood and appreciated.

My Individual view can best be expressed by quoting the old maxim. Competition is the life of trade." In annlving It, however. I would not want to be considered as an extremist either way. I recopmize the- fact that without combination of capital a treat mar.v of our erreatst enterprises could never have succeeded, and that the development of our country in a la rare measure ba been due to thee combinations. If it weTe possible to do so, I think the proper rule would be to apply the old common law doctrine, and that is, to make all trusts ille-gii which tend to increase the price of the necessaries of life, or decrease the wages paid to laborers.

If this rule were applied In a spirit of judicial fairness, not actuated on the one side by the dsire to purchase the favor of the rich, nor on the other to yield to the clamor of the poor, without fear or favor, partiality or prejudice. I believe the question could be solved. The exercise of this power, however. Is one that requires careful consideration, and I. therefore, repeat, as I said above, I am heartilv in favor of the conference you mention and will be glad to attend and study the subject at leneth.

WILLIS TOCNG. President Northwestern Traveling' Men's association I am heartily In sympathy with the conference, and will not only attend my-oolf but appoint a committee from the organization I represent to participate. No more opportune time for such a conference could be selected. It is a question that not only all of our members are interested in. but also the merchants with whom thev trouE-hout the country.

GEORGE PRESTON, Secretary and Treasurer, International Association of Machinists I am much interested in the qution to be discussed at this conference, and shall be glad to attend. President Lombard of the Civic federation will name a Committee on Arrangements and The Assessors for Cook County townships outside the city limits will meet at the Sher man House Tuesday and discuss what they At sucn times fame ccicry compound has afforded me quick relief, and I know of nothing that will take its place." Lucinda B. Chandler. EDITORS DISAGREE ON SILVER. Indiana Newspaper Men Puzzled by Money Issue Mayor Harrison Coming Home Today.

1BY A STAFF Louisville, Ky May 10. Special. Free silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 had a hard fight for its life in Indiana today. The battle was fought by editors of Democratic newspapers gathered from all parts of that State at Madison. Some of them, backed and supported by business-men, were bent on their association taking a stand against making this question as set forth in the Chicago platform the issue for 1900.

But they were not strong enough to put it through. These editors took a boat ride down the Ohio River to this city. On board resolutions urging vigorous opposition in their papers to trusts and dishonesty in politics were prepared for adoption while returning to the Indiana town. The antl-16 to 1 element insisted upon having inserted a paragraph repudiatine as far adway's Pills as possible, without coming out in open re- Demon against it, the silver plank of the Chicago platform, but they soon found them selves confronted by a condition of things political that convinced them they had pre claim are the grievances imposed on them by the new revenue law. Under the old law these Assessors were paid by the towns which elected them and their salaries in some cases were as high as Under the new law they rank only as deputy assessors, to be paid but $5 a day for work actually performed, which occupies usually about two months.

It Is understood they will make common cause with the Democrats who were elected from the towns In Chicago in April and will fight the law in the courts. SUICIDE MAY BE ST. LOUIS MAN. Oxalic Acid Restores Laundry Mark of Person Who Took Poison, Showing or Wellman. Through the efforts of George Carroll, employed in Rolston's undertaking rooms, the identity of the man who killed himself by drinking prussic acid in a rooming-house at Wabiish avenue last Monday may yet be established.

Before taking the poison the intended suicide obliterated the laundry marks on his linen with ink. By the use of oxalic acid1 Carroll yesterday succeeded in removing the fresh ink sufficiently to read the mark, which was either A. or H. Wellman. The hat of the dead man was bought in St.

Louis, where it is thought he lived. He was well dressed, and Mr. Carroll believes he may have been well connected in the Missouri city. The St. Louis police will be communicated with in an endeavor to identify the suicide.

The dead man apparently was 30 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, and weighed about 170 poirhds. He had light complexion, blue eyes, brown hair, and a heavy, sandy mustache. His clothing was nearly new and of good material. LAKE SHIPPING NEWS. cipitated trouble.

While it was plainly demonstrated the antis could not force an official expression against 16 to 1, it was also just as impossible for the silverites to get an indorsement of the ratio rule.

Factory Inspector Harris, "we investigate the case thoroughly by the record in church school or elss-where. Then if we find his her age has been sworn to falsely by the parent, we withdraw the child from the work. In only one case have we prosecuted 'for perjury. Generally when the parents find out we have the information they evade the law by an excuse of ignorance. We find it the best way to simply withdraw the child from work.

"The law regulating this should be ex-i tended so as to require not merely a certificate from a notary but an affidavit and i certificate from the Factory Inspector's de-'jpartroert. Already many factories in Chicago will not employ children of any kind because they do not want to bother with the troublesome certificate system. The law Is lessening child labor every year." "We found." said Mrs. A. P.

Stevens, former Assistant State Factory Inspector, that by applying the health qualifications to the cases where we were convinced the affidavit had been faiseiy made the child could be prevented from working. In. many cases we could make the sweater so much trouble that he would discharge the child and employ one who was over 14 in order to escape -the pressure brought to bear Dn him."
